Prayers For You
My Faith Story
I was first called at a pretty young age, I was 8. I went to church every Sunday
and every summer during Vacation Bible School. I heard Jesus call my name and
He ask that I serve Him. So I gave my life to Jesus and oh how I loved Him.
Then I reached the teenage years and I went wild...I only went to church when
my Dad made me go. I really did not want to be there. I started smoking,
drinking and not studying my schoolwork. Needless to say, I dropped out of
school and I got married at age 16. This marriage did not last long.
I eventually moved in with another man and I still smoked, drank, and ran
around on him. I eventually got into a homosexual relationship and left him. Only
to find out that I was pregnant with his child, I did go back with him. We had
another baby girl. But I was extremely unhappy in the marriage.
I ended up praying and I believe in answer to that prayer, two people were sent
to my door one morning. I began to study the bible with them. After awhile I
joined their church, stopped smoking, drinking, running around, and told the man
I lived with that he would have to marry me or the children and I were leaving.
We got married and had a son. My husband divorced me one year after our son
was born.
For 4 1/2 years I stayed with the church and tried to live a straight life. The
church condemned me for the homosexual feelings I had and was eventually
kicked out of the church for kissing another woman.
I stayed in the homosexual life for over 30 years. And I stayed away from the
churches for most of those years. After a real scare concerning my health I
decided it was time to make it right with God...I found a church that was okay
with my homosexuality and joined it. I started serving God and the church, but
remained a lesbian.
I lost my job in 2004...lost my house in 2005...ended up in a shelter for women
and children. This was a shelter based on Christian discipleship. I stayed there
for about 15 months going through the program and learning new things. No
one had ever told me about Jesus, although I had heard of him. I did not know
what it was like to be born again. One day in chapel I was truly born again.
My life really began to change, I quit smoking again, this time I am truly off of
them. I began to see that God really did love me but not the sin. I removed
myself from a 21 year relationship, although we are still very good friends and
love each other, we are not living in sin. I am now in my own place, a place God
has provided. I have changed churches, and I am now really into doing God's
work.
Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be doing what I am
doing now. But, I can truly say that God is using me and I am full of joy and
peace. Oh how, I love Jesus.
If you have any questions, need someone to pray for you, feel you need to make
changes in your life just email me at jess@prayersforyou.org
I will be glad to talk with you.
